I mean... it executed code that was supposed to print "Hello world\n" and it did print that, so how is it not working? :) I have no idea why is libgit needed to boot a VM (is it even?), but evidently some functionality is still available despite the error. Not that it changes much...

When all the required dependencies are being found on your Fedora install we should wonder why "the VM seemed to hang and never started properly" but not before.

  Yeah, sure. But why would I put effort into providing the dependencies to Pharo on silver platter? I engaged here just to show that it, indeed, doesn't work for me and I'm not misrepresenting anything. Now, it even looks like a well known (yet still not fixed) problem, so I have no further need to do anything. And no, LD_PRELOAD is not something I should be using, or at least, I didn't need to use it with any other Smalltalk, nor any other program I tried to run in a the past decade. I did have to use it once, with Baldurs Gate 2 (Linux/steam version) and that's about it.

    Is it the missing `libpcre.so.3` `libpcreposix.so.3` ? ldd libgit2.1.0.0.so

      No.

    There seem to be 4 different install methods shown on the Pharo download page. Seems like you used "Pharo Launcher"? There are also "GNU/Linux Packages" and in particular rpm for Fedora 37, Fedora 36, Fedora 35, Fedora 34. I wonder if you tried them? On the few occasions that I've needed Pharo, I simply downloaded the "Pharo stable VM for Linux" and "Pharo image" separately and unpacked them into the same directory. Maybe it helped to already have a working git install.
